This is the first report on the electronic and vibrational spectra of thin solid films of a representative member of new class of materials : 1,3 bis(3-chlorobenzylimido perylene) propane (BPTDPr). The objective of the study is the fabrication of thin solid films and their spectroscopic characterization. It is shown that evaporated films can be prepared for this high molecular weight perylene dye. The molecular organization in the film was probed using transmission and reflection absorption infrared (RAIRS) spectroscopy. The spectroscopic study of the neat materials and the solid films also includes UV-Visible absorption, steady state fluorescence, and FT-Raman scattering. Surface-enhanced resonant Raman spectra of the material adsorbed onto silver island films are also reported.
